Abstract
Example implementations relate to pen holding devices. In an example, a pen holding device can comprise a connector coupled to a receiver to couple the pen holding device to an electronic device, and the receiver including a magnet and a pen clip holder, the receiver to couple a pen via the magnet and the pen clip holder.
Claims9
A pen holding device, comprising:
- a connector coupled to a receiver, wherein the connector includes a U-shaped flexible end that extends from a distal end of the connector and is disposable against a surface of a standardized interface of an electronic device to compress the U-shaped flexible end and thereby exert spring tension against the surface of the standardized interface to removably couple the pen holding device to a standardized interface of a plurality of standardized interfaces of the electronic device, wherein the plurality of standardized interfaces includes a high definition multimedia interface (HDMI) standardized interface, a micro secure digital (SD) card standardized interface, a kensington lock standardized interface, a cable lock standardized interface, or a universal serial bus (USB) standardized interface;
- and
- the receiver including a magnet and a pen clip holder, the receiver to couple a pen via the magnet and the pen clip holder, and wherein the pen holding device includes a plurality of connectors, each of the plurality of connectors is to be coupled to a respective standardized interface of the electronic device.
A system, comprising:
- an electronic device including a standardized interface;
- and
- a pen holding device including a connector with a U-shaped flexible end that extends from a distal end of the connector and is disposable against a surface of a standardized interface of an electronic device to compress the U-shaped flexible end and thereby exert spring tension against the surface of the standardized interface to removably couple the pen holding device to a surface of a standardized interface of the electronic device and wherein the pen holding device includes a magnet and a pen clip holder to removably couple to a pen via the magnet and the pen clip holder, wherein the standardized interface is included in a plurality of standardized interfaces, and wherein the pen holding device includes a plurality of connectors, each of the plurality of connectors is to be coupled to a respective standardized interface of the electronic device,
- wherein the plurality of standardized interfaces includes a high definition multimedia interface (HDMI) standardized interface, a micro secure digital (SD) card standardized interface, a kensington lock standardized interface, a cable lock standardized interface, or a universal serial bus (USB) standardized interface.
